About Ann
Ann Keith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience practicing in New Mexico and Texas. She works with adults dealing with worry, low mood, grief, relationship trouble, addictive behaviors, and major life changes. Her work also addresses issues like codependency, abandonment, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin problems.
She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people notice what matters to them and change patterns that cause pain. Sessions focus on everyday steps - identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, practicing small changes, and building better communication skills. She blends approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with attention to attachment and emotions.
Clients often come with struggles around saying no, people-pleasing, or getting overwhelmed by another person’s emotions or substance use. She talks through specific moments that cause stress and helps people develop clearer boundaries and more consistent coping strategies. Work can include problem solving, role practice, and learning ways to respond differently under pressure.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with adults facing grief, mood disorders, and relationship strain. Ann draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people understand and express feelings more directly.
Sessions are offered in English. International clients are accepted. Before booking, prospective clients should confirm current session options and details through the platform questionnaire and scheduling flow.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Ann uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what truly matters to them and take small, actionable steps toward those values. ACT is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and stuck patterns because it focuses on actions rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts.She also draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship experiences affect current responses. This approach helps people understand habitual ways of relating and practice new interactions in the present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test them with real-life experiments to reduce distress and improve behavior.
Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then adjust methods over time. That cooperative process helps match tools to the specific problem, whether it is boundary setting, coping with grief, or addressing codependent patterns.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Ask about the available session options during the questionnaire and scheduling steps so sessions can be planned to suit daily life.
